SERB Pharmaceuticals has closed a deal to take over development and commercialization rights to Idefirix (imlifidase) across Europe and MENA from Hansa Biopharma.

SERB Pharmaceuticals has completed its acquisition of the European and Middle East and North Africa development and commercialization rights to Idefirix (imlifidase) from Hansa Biopharma, the company announced via GlobalNewswire.

Idefirix, known generically as imlifidase, is the branded therapy at the center of the deal. By securing these regional rights, SERB positions itself to drive both the ongoing development and the commercial rollout of the drug across European and MENA markets, where specialty therapeutics demand has continued to grow.
